<p>That SAT needs to be a lot higher to have a chance. </p>
<p>As most schools look at applications holistically, you might have a pretty good chance. Your extracurriculars, internships, volunteering etc. looks awesome but I would work on your GPA. You still have a few years!</p>
<p>Keep up the awesome work! Any of those schools would be lucky to have you!</p>
<p>Chance me back??</p>

<p>thanks

<p>You seem to be on the right track towards success. You have time to improve test score and your gpa to become more competitive seeing how you’re only a sophomore. Other than that you ECs look spot on! Ivy league schools seem almost impossible to get in these days with lower admission rates every year, but with great essays and recs you will have the same chances as other qualified applicants. Good luck!</p>
<p>Is taking Tech Ed classes any good?</p>
<p>I just want to clarify that holistic review for top schools means you not only need great GPA and test scores but also EC, essays, etc. Don’t dream on having strength in one area may overcome other factor(s) that are significantly out of the range for acceptance.</p>
<p>I don’t think you have much of a chance at all with any of the ivy league schools unless there is some big fat hook missing from what you have listed. ZIP.</p>
<p>But Georgia Tech some other engineering schools, not quite so selective are good possibilities, even with some merit. </p>
<p>You need to get your GPA and test scores up. But you are only a sophomore, so you have time if you commit yourself.</p>
<p>Some of the people above have given needlessly optimistic opinions, but here is a frank one:
Unless you seriously improve (somehow get you GPA up to at least 3.7-3.75 and improve your SAT by 200 points), you have very little chances. The one positive thing I see are your extracurricular activities, which I think are fine. However, they are not nearly enough to overlook your other flaws. </p>
